Labor Day brings to mind Labor Unions and the struggles they suf-fered to organize and exist over the last century.
There are many reminders of those efforts that bound the working men together. Banners, buttons, post-ers, pins and more are there for the collector who wants to honor those long ago heroes of the working man. There are also reminders of those who kept the home fires burning while their men marched on the picket line.
Women in the last century were the work horses
of the household. They cleaned, washed and scrubbed their way into the modern age.
Many of those tools they tamed and suffered are now part of the vin-tage and antique collect-ibles market.
Box irons, wash boards, primitive cookware and more were the hand
tools they knew.When carpet-
ing came into a home prior to the early 1900s, the only way to clean it was to take it outside, hang it over a line and beat it with a rug beater. Today rug beaters are often collected for their interesting shapes and sizes. They make for interesting wall art since vacuum cleaners now offer an alternative.
Vacuum cleaners were another item that aided the industrious housewife in the past.
The electric versions have been around for about 100 years. The bulky, hard to manage, hand-pumped models have been in existence from the mid
1800s. The variety of these early cleaners are a testi-mony to the huge market waiting for relief from the mundane task of cleaning the carpet.

where everyone is just tickled to death to invite them in to tailgate with them,” Pauley said. “We want to beat them on the field, of course, but we like to wine and dine them as well.
“Great hospitality reflects well on the fans, but also on the university, the city and the entire state.”
In selecting a menu, Pauley said it is best to stay away from eggs, dairy and mayon-naise, unless you have the proper equipment and expe-rience to handle these items outdoors.
“If you’re doing slaw, maybe do a mustard slaw. It lasts a lot longer and you don’t have to worry about it,” he explained. “And, make sure all of your meats stay cold. The best thing to invest in is either a three-to-five-day cooler or a seven-day cooler like we use. It’s going to have more insulation in it.”
Pauley said if you’re attempt-ing fried foods invest the $30 and get a fryer mat to protect the ground beneath you.
“Don’t get grease all over the parking lot,” he said. “And, clean up after yourself. If the place you’re tailgating doesn’t have a dumpster or trash cans, take the trash with you. We like to leave our area cleaner than when we got there.”
What if you don’t want to cre-ate your own tailgate, but you’d like to weasel your way into one? Pauley said there’s even etiquette for that.
“We ask for small donations to help offset the cost of our food,” he explained, adding that one game’s food bill can run $2,500. “It’s very minimal and it’s all you want to eat and drink.
“I’m honestly convinced you could walk through any tailgat-ing lot and if you want to tailgate and have the personality for it, somebody will give you a hotdog and invite you in. Tailgating is not this regimented thing.”
Pauley said tailgaters are always welcome at the Smokin’ Thunder location, this year in the lot next to Logan’s Meats.
“Win or lose, we’ll still be there,” Pauley said. “If we win, not only will we be eating, but we’ll probably be on suicide watch with the WVU fans who join us.”
